Sorry for the Hijack but this thread is perfect timing so I hope you don't mind.
Couple questions for those of you gentlemen in the know... The wife and I were planning on a trip to GNP in June and staying a week. Is this a good time of year or is it going to be packed? Neither of us want to be stuck in a vehicle all day trying to get from point A to B (like Gatlinburg). Originally we wanted to go in mid to late September but work obligations has us pushing this up. We could do Early October also but do not want the weather to be to cold that roads are closed and whatnot.
Also, is a week enough time to spend a couple days in GNP and spend a couple days in other areas sight seeing in places like Cooke City on down into Wyoming?
There has been some excellent info in this thread so far, so thanks to those of you who have shared.

No worries. I’ve learned so much from this board and it’s one of my go-tos when planning a trip anywhere. It’s great to have a resource where you can get info and first-hand accounts from folks who’ve been there and not just slick marketing info on a company’s website.

Not an expert but I think June is a crap shoot in terms of weather, with early June typically being bad and late typically June being ok. Even still, the Going to the Sun road sometimes doesn't open until after July 4.
On the flip side, if you luck out and get nice weather and cleared roads in June, you will have less crowds in the park as most people plan trips in the mid-July to mid-September window to avoid weather obstacles.
All National Parks have been crazy during Covid. There's just no getting around that. People can't travel internationally and most city destinations have restrictions. So millions of vacationers are turning to the best option left - our National Parks. You can avoid some of the crowd by going to places outside the park. Plenty of beautiful scenery and hikes in Montana.
